    Fortunately, the governor of my state has done a much better job but like I said the vast majority of the US is open or opening. Your beef is with your state's leadership and while legit does not...

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Most epidemiologists believe that this number is actually much lower than the true death rate but unfortunately we will never really know. I think any health care worker with half a brain is aware...

    Paramedics in the ED

    Wuzzie replied to EDMEDIC's topic in Emergency

    I'm a little confused as to your agenda here. You speak of wanting teamwork yet the vast majority of your posts seem to be more focused on telling the nurses (on a nursing site no less) how stupid we...

    I was fortunate to work with a great group of medics and nurses who never had this issue. Pissing matches were completely non-existent. It might have helped that for many of them the ED was a side...
